Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a simplified procedure for authenticating a user accessing to a Multimedia network through an Access network where the user had been already authenticated.
  • GSM Global System for Mobile communications
  • GPRS Global System for Mobile communications
  • WLAN Wireless Local Area Network
  • IMS Multimedia
  • Multimedia domain is carried out as described in 3G TS 33.203 standard and depicted in Fig. 1 in terms of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based signalling flow.
  • SIP Session Initiation Protocol
  • Fig. 1 illustrates and the referred technical specifications describe, Multimedia authentication shall be carried out always when a user is registering in the Multimedia domain, what is typically started by sending a SIP Register message for a given private and public identity.
  • An initial condition assumed before starting the flow cited above is that an end-user must have a data connection open before accessing the Multimedia domain.
  • This connection may be either a GPRS connection in terms of having a PDP context activated, or a WLAN connection in terms of having established a data connection as specified by the IEEE 802.11 standards, or another Access network providing the user side with a data connection.
  • a GPRS connection in terms of having a PDP context activated
  • a WLAN connection in terms of having established a data connection as specified by the IEEE 802.11 standards

  • user-agent have been already authenticated by the access network, whether GPRS or WLAN or another, in order to establish such data connection and before sending a SIP Register to the Multimedia domain.
  • both currently used access networks namely GPRS and WLAN
  • the Multimedia domain currently makes use of an authentication mechanism offering a similar level of security as the above access networks, the so-called USIM-AKA, which is carried out when the SIP Register message reaches a Serving Call Status Control Function (S-CSCF) entity as shown in Fig. 1.
  • S-CSCF Serving Call Status Control Function
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the sequence of actions followed to carry out an EAP AEA authentication for a user having accessed a WLAN network wherein RADIUS and MAP seems to be the most probable protocol alternatives though DIAMETER could also be used instead of RADIUS or MAP.
  • a user wanting to get access to the Multimedia domain requires a previous establishment of a data connection, what is frequently carried out through an access network such as GPRS or WLAN and, consequently, the user has been authenticated firstly with an EAP-SIM/AKA for a WLAN access network, and further the user should be authenticated secondly with a USIM-AKA when registering into the Multimedia domain.
  • the S-SCSF typically sends an Authentication Challenge message to the SIP user- agent. If this operation is successful, then the S-CSCF will periodically send an Authentication-Vector-request to the SIP user-agent that in turn must respond with an Authentication- Vector-response . Both of these messages add extra load on the multimedia domain as well as longer registration times. That is, SIP user-agents should process and respond to both the Authentication-Challenge and Authentication-Vector-request.

  • the subscriber server itself which in particular may be a HSS in 3GPP or an AAA-server in 3GPP2 standards and CDMA 2000 networks, or a Multimedia Authentication device supporting the access to the Multimedia domain for a specific user determines that an explicit authentication for the Multimedia domain might be unnecessary based on a previous subscriber authentication carried out by the access network where the user is accessing through, and based on an assumption that a secure bearer for Multimedia signalling is carried out through the access network.
  • Such secure bearer may be for instance a PDP context in case of GPRS being the access network, or a secure tunnel in case of WLAN being the access network towards the home network while carrying out the subscriber authentication.
  • the subscriber server or the dedicated Multimedia Authentication device, provides to a serving entity in charge of authenticating the user, namely a Serving Call Status Control Function (S-CSCF) , an authentication policy indicating that an Implicit Authentication procedure can be performed for said user accessing the Multimedia domain, based on a previous bearer authentication through the access network.

  • the user or rather the user's equipment side (UE) , upon receiving this notification, may accept the implicit authentication or force an explicit authentication in accordance with the applicable standard for the Multimedia domain as Fig. 1 illustrates.
  • this implicit authentication may apply to both authentication of the user by the network as well as authentication of the network by the user.
  • said implicit authentication might be triggered by a subscriber server such as the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) responsible for the previous authentication of the user in the UMTS network, as illustrated in Fig. 3, or by a dedicated Multimedia Authentication device in co-operation with said subscriber server.
  • HSS Home Subscriber Server
  • an end-user or user's equipment is attached and authenticated in UMTS and has a GPRS PDP context open. At this stage, the end-user and user-agent gain access to the
  • Multimedia domain by initiating a SIP Registration procedure.
  • This SIP Registration procedure comprises the sending of a SIP Register message from the user side (UE) towards a
  • Proxy Call Status Control Function P-CSCF
  • I-CSCF Interrogating Call Status Control Function
  • the I-CSCF initiates a conventionally called Cx- Selection-Info procedure towards the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) in order to identify the Serving Call Status Control Function (S-CSCF) currently in charge of the user. Once such S-CSCF is identified, the I-CSCF sends a corresponding SIP Register message to the S-CSCF.
  • the S-CSCF receiving such registration message initiates a conventionally called Cx-Put procedure towards the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) .
  • the HSS Given that the HSS had previously participated in the GPRS access authentication of the user by exchanging a user profile and authentication vectors with a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) , the HSS uses its information about the SGSN where the subscriber is located, in addition to other network topology information, to determine the potential security of the signalling path for accessing the Multimedia domain through said access network. Thereby, in accordance with the invention, the HSS itself, or a dedicated Multimedia Authentication device, can decide an Implicit Authentication for the user. To this end, the HSS includes an indication of "Implicit Authentication" in the Cx-Put-response towards the S-CSCF.
  • SGSN Serving GPRS Support Node
  • the decision to send this message towards the S-CSCF is advantageously made when the Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) belongs to the same home domain as the HSS and the GGSN is thus considered secure and trusted.
  • GGSN Gateway GPRS Support Node

Abstract

L'invention concerne un mécanisme d'authentification interdomaine assurant une authentification interdomaine pour un utilisateur donné entre un domaine de réseau d'accès et un domaine multimédia, ce mécanisme d'authentification interdomaine étant plus simple que celui existant et applicable lorsqu'un utilisateur a été authentifié par le réseau d'accès. Ainsi, l'invention porte sur une nouvelle caractéristique de l'invention, à savoir une 'authentification implicite pour le domaine multimédia', qui peut être mise en oeuvre sous forme de dispositif d'authentification multimédia spécialisé en étroite coopération avec un serveur d'abonnés, ou qui peut être intégré entièrement dans ledit serveur d'abonnés. A cet effet, l'invention concerne un nouveau dispositif, un nouvel équipement utilisateur et un nouveau procédé, le tout conçu pour la réutilisation de données d'authentification entre différents réseaux, ou entre différents domaines technologiques, et avec l'aide d'autres entités d'un domaine multimédia selon les normes actuelles.
